The
Iranian Army's Ground Force has unveiled its new local-made Moharram 6-barrel
12.7 mm Gatling-type machine gun. During the military parade in Tehran
on April 18, 2014, the Moharram was mounted at the rear of a local-made
neinava 4x4 light tactical vehicle.

The Iranian country's experts have built a weapon for ground units named
'Moharram' with the fire power of 2,000 rounds per minute, adding that
that only a handful number of states are equipped with that type of
weapon.

The Moharram has a maximum range of fire from 1,600 to 2,000 meters.

Each of the cannon's six barrels fires once in turn during each revolution
of the barrel cluster. The multiple barrels provide both a very high
rate of fire of 100 rounds per second and contribute to prolonged weapon
life by minimizing barrel erosion and heat generation.
